CF doesn't generate club head speed. Only linear force generates speed.
During the release interval, the swing radius is increased. Without any linear power applied to the club, there will be some minor redistribution of velocity energy in the club (slightly more speed in the head and much less in the grip end), but basically the club speed will be the same and the angular speed will be reduced to account for the increased swing radius.
This reduction in angular speed has a slowdown effect on the pivot. But since there's a real golfer holding the club with a lot of moving mass and a deliberate intent to maximise swing speed ... the response to this slow down will be linear force. You feel the load increase and do your best to carry it all the way through the ball.
The release works as a gear shift where the pivot is enabled to work the club in 2-3-4-5th gear instead of 1st gear all the way through.
7-3. STROKES--BASIC........The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point--where the eye must be directing the Pressure Point #3.….
Yoda refers to the forefinger in "Angle of Attack--Approach Drawings" thread and in a Neeman lessons video. He also comments that Neeman is a Swinger.

First knuckle or first joint?

Reason: Neeman is a Swinger
The First Knuckle is the "Turning Point" (Center Point, Leading Point) of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
A Beam of Light down the Right Forearm, through the First Knuckle will Shine on the Plane-Line. A Beam of Light from the First Knuckle through the Sweet-spot of the Club Head will Shine on the Plane-Line.
Both Beams of Light need to be shining On-Plane at least through the Impact Interval to have a 3 dimensional Impact.
The right index finger has two joints and one knuckle. The Angle of Approach is a cross line deal with a Closed Plane Line for Hitters to Cover visually with their clubhead, cross line. Cover in Steering like fashion.
The #3 pp at this point in the swing is .....the first joint. For the Three Barrel Hitter the lag pressure point will always be the first joint, for the Four Barrel Hitter who Drag Loads in Startdown ........he'll sense Lag at the Knuckle during Longitudinal acceleration and then at the first joint during Radial Acceleration.

I didn't know any of that. Whoa, that seems way deep for me.
6-C-2-0. CLUBHEAD LAG……..can be any one or any combination of Pressure Points selected to sense Clubhead Acceleration rate and direction……
6-C-2-A. THE ESSENSE of Clubhead Lag technique is that it is always both Aiming AND Thrust. Passive--it is primarily Aiming the Lag Pressure.
10-11-0-3 PRESSURE POINT #3 can be either active or passive Accumulator #1 indirect drive of the Secondary Lever Assembly. That is, active as Accumulator #2………for Hitting but passively as Accumulator #3 or with a Right Arm Swing

Is Pressure Point #3 the Knuckle or the first joint of the Index Finger? Maybe it's about best results?

Does that include Swingers? Is it Optional?
That's cause I just made it all up. Even I don't understand it.
Swingers drag load, longitudinal , knuckle then radial first joint.......first joint in a passive way.
But here's something I've been noodling.....a swinger loads against the knuckle loads the left wrist, the hitter the first joint the elbow right? We tend to think in terms of Top vs End, quarter turns or whatever but what about half shots?
Surely the Hitter senses lag against loads against the first joint and swinger against the knuckle for these little shots?
If you've seen the amazing hogan in mexico video where in the later shots he's hitting these little drag loading half wedge shots that'd make you drool with envy........ He's loading the knuckle. So as Homer said it's really all a product of the direction of loading! So I'm thinking if your a drag loader per 10-19-C throw it against the knuckle......I think thats what Homer thought Hogan did and it does look like it to my eye.
Hmm? Made it up? I wish I would of thought of it. It's such a simple adjustment.
I've done some experimenting with the First Joint of the Forefinger vs. the Knuckle. I haven't found a problem with it. Actually, I like it. It seems more "finesse", more precise and needing very passive hands. It creates an urge to drag the Club.
The Loading Force is still toward the Knuckle but with the shaft resting on the fatty part of the finger which is now between the knuckle and shaft.
